The former pitchman, who is reportedly not doing well in prison to begin with, got his ass kicked.

Jared Fogle received a 16 year sentence last April for sex crimes against minors. Child molesters are often targeted by other inmates who find their crimes especially horrible. (Who could blame them?) According to The Washington Post, the beatdown happened back in January courtesy of a guy named Steven Nigg. Nigg's nephew, Jimmy Nigg, told People:

“He just can’t be around child molesters. He doesn’t like them.” “He can’t figure out why you would do that to kids … He says, ‘I can’t be around those people.'”

He added that his uncle could have killed Fogle if he'd wanted to. Nigg got 10 days in solitary for the attack. For beating a child molster? He should have gotten a medal.
